Don't be dumb about it. Stay away from backpage. The Erotic Review was a good website but it blocked US users ever since a law came out about slavery and online websites. Go through sites like that, that have verification so you can see other reviewers. That way you know you're not talking to some cop.

Haven't had many but if you have the coin to dabble then yes, why not see at least once what it's like? Honestly I can't speak too much on it because it probably all depends on where you live but I'd prefer searching for a spa rather than girls with personal ads. It also depends on you and how you handle situations like these. For me the spa was much more of a relaxing, calm environment and what I'd prefer to deal with but that's just me. Had one experience with these girls that I think were just beginning and the entire situation was sketchy. Too much to explain but never giving any cheap ads any attention again. This is just my experience so it all depends, just be careful.
